I think it's worth a try, but with a trial period. My jaundiced view is that we may wind up with people competing on sheer volume. As someone who views himself as sweeping up around here, I am concerned about the sheer volume of poor changes that might result. I am likely anticipating trouble, so give it a try..... but be ready to turn it off. [[User:Boblipton|Boblipton]] 17:31, August 22, 2011 (UTC) | I think it's worth a try, but with a trial period.

:Oh i very much share the concern that this might lead to a stream of "garbage" revisions. However, we do have the ability to determine the nature of the badges awarded. I won't be able to say exactly how flexible the customisation is until we turn it on, but I think we will be able to target things better than just "total number of edits". From what I've seen of the menus in screenshots, thoguh, it ''looks'' quite flexible. And if we find people trying to game our award tracks, we can just block that person and they're outta the game entirely. When a person is blocked, they lose their badges. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''19:30:42 Mon '''22 Aug 2011 </span> | :Oh i very much share the concern that this might lead to a stream of "garbage" revisions.

The only things that are customisable are the icons and achievement titles. For example, we would be stuck with "Add 500 images to pages", but you would be able to change the name from "Curator" and the image of a painting to something a bit more DWU. At least on the surface this is the limits, I have no idea if you can do some magic via CSS.--{{User:Skittles the hog/sig}} 19:49, August 22, 2011 (UTC) | |||
